I don't think the transfer fees are a major problem, its how do we

Afford the wages.
Fit the wages into our wage structure.
Not piss of our current top earners.
Avoid a wage rise spiral which is something we've done very well so far.

The simple answer would be to give them a massive signing on bonus - £3m equates to £20k a week roughly over 3years, so just line them with that £3m signing-on fee and tell them that their wages will be the difference cheaper - could be a nice little carrot when it comes to luring players - such as money in the bank to buy a house & get settled quicker?

Of course it's not allowed but there's ways around it ;)

This is what I said at about Midnight "We need to sign a world class forward or we'll be left behind. We MUST requalify for the Champs league this year or the current top 4 will dissapear into the distance.
We have to make this season count. attract the top class players.
Wages aren't a big issue as we'll just offer a HUGE signing on fee and then pay them our usual top end rate.
Not sure what to do about the defence but I think our midfield is too lightweight without Hudd."

So I agree!!!!!!

Also as was pointed out we need to set them up as averseas company to avoid the 50% tax rate!!

As you said, all above board!!!!!!
 
1042: One player who is not leaving Spurs is, apparently, defender Jonathan Woodgate. Nope, he is required to solve the club's defensive crisis after Michael Dawson's red card at Fulham will see him miss the next three games. Younes Kaboul, William Gallas and Ledley King are struggling with injury and Redknapp said: "Jonathan Woodgate is going to be pushed into action quicker than expected. There is no chance of Jonathan going out on loan now. He is staying."

So, it looks like he is about to be thrown straight into action. How long do we feel he will last?

a) Injured in the pre-match warm up
b) Limps off after 15mins
c) Makes it through first game but slips on the soap in the bath rupturing his cock
 
Woody came with a reputation for injuries, but we had a good run out of him at first. Who knows we may again. He is a world class defender and we should all have fingers crossed! By the way Papa, what will the N stand for if the Gooners beat Brum in the final?
 
Forlan rumours are gathering pace, i have heard Levy is haggling over the fee for the walking stick that will also be required.
 
I think ANY of the CF's we've been linked with would be a risk. But I think I would feel alot better seeing Forlan on the pitch than Crouch!!!

Depends how much he costs I suppose

At least we can cross off Aguero now.
 
The £40-odd million quoted for Aguero is just silly talk, a marquee new signing is required, yes, but £40mil? Nah!
 
13:51
Eurosport: Spanish sources now claim Spurs' bid for Diego Forlan is official and Daniel Levy is bidding to get the deal done personally rather than rely on agents.
 
1435: Reports in Spain suggest that Harry Redknapp has made a renewed bid for Sergio Aguero's Atletico Madrid strike partner, Diego Forlan, whom the Tottenham manager watched two weeks ago in the Madrid derby. Looks like Harry is determined to snap up a striker today, then?

Sky Sports News.
 
Bit of a goofy smiley there SSS.

I thought Forlone was injured, or does he always walk like that. <laugh>
